    Gymnasts Level 4 Vault Problem

    I’m a level 4 (this is my second year competing 4) and I’ve had this consistent problem when it comes to vault. So basically when I do my front handspring it almost always turns into a half on. I can never predict when it will happen and there’s nothing that I can really do to prevent it...

    Women 1/2 on 1/2 off vault

    Do you twist the same way as your round off or can you twist the other way?

    Women vault: 1/2 on 1/2 off vs. 1/4 on 3/4 off? same thing?

    I’m sure this is obvious and/or has been asked many times but I can’t find anything that really clarifies in words that make sense to me. The vault I have been training is truly best described as a 1/4 on 3/4 off, I punch facing forwards, turn my body 90 degrees so my hands are pointing sideways...

    Women Vault form help needed!

    Hey guys! I picked up gymnastics again after a few years off; this time competing adult gymnastics. I recently had my first competition of the season, and I realized just how bad my vault form is (whoops). I'm actively trying to get a better heel drive and more amplitude, but I'm currently stuck...

    Men Level 4, Division 2 Vault

    This weekend we had a gymnast go to compete vault and somehow his steps got messed up going for his front tuck. Is level 4 men's like women's where they can run off to the side as a "bock" and still get another attempt? You could tell his steps were messed up and luckily he was still able to...

    Women Tsuk Pike 1/2 Level 9 Vault

    Hello! I’m a level 8 gymnast training many level 9 skills already to be prepared for next season. I was wondering if you can do a tsuk pike 1/2 as a level 9 vault? I know it’s listed on the collegiate vault chart but it’s not on the level 9 vault chart but I know some versions are outdated...

    Women Vault Struggles

    Hi everyone, my daughter is a Level 6 gymnast her in South Australia and what is holding her back is her vault… Everything seems to be technically pretty good but she just lacks power off of the board onto the table and thus her block is compromised. Does anyone know of some drills she can do...

    Coaches my vault? please give feedback!!

In return for input from others, I will try and reply to as many of others' posts as I can so we can all help each other out! My question: deductions on this vault...

    Women Flipping vault with a tighter tuck

    Any coaches have drills or cues they use to get a gymnast to tuck tighter when flipping Yurchenko Vaults? Guessing it's a timing/technique thing but DD just doesn't rotate fast enough and lands chest down or falling onto her knees. Watching her in slow motion she has her head back. Coach was...

    Women Platinum vault

    In USAG platinum, do you have to actually land the vault or do you do a timer like the level 6 vault? Asking because in most YouTube videos, gymnasts are actually landing vaults but I've only been doing mine up to a mat stack...

    Parents Vault into pit?

    This is just a curiosity question really.. when you see a gymnast on instagram/youtube/etc that is doing a yurchenko full or 1.5 into a pit (and they are just learning the vault), how close is that to landing a vault onto a mat? You know the ones where they say "Got my 1.5 today!!" but it's into...

    Coaches Normal amount of reps per week for Yurchenko vaults?

    Just curious, from a coaches perspective... What's your ideal number of reps an optional gymnast competing level 7 and 8 should be getting in per week doing the Yurchenko vault? I know it can be hard on gymnasts bodies, so is there a max number of reps you like to limit it to? Do you ramp up...

    Women Can a cuervo be done as a l9 vault?

    DD is now going back and forth between training a tsuk layout and a cuervo, but she can't find the cuervo listed in the L9 vault chart. Her coach really wants her to work on and compete that vault, but she isn't sure it's something she can compete in 9. Anyone have insight?

    Anon Vault height

    Question, my son was super excited about his vault settings changing. It seems like they are quite drastic, but maybe it’s normal for his age and level? I know everyone has different settings. He’s 11 and level 8. He’s been vaulting with the table at 125 and using 6 springs. Today it just...

    Coaches Trouble Raising and Lowering Vault Table

    For context I help run my college's club gymnastics team. We are a new team. We have been having difficulties with raising and lowering our vault tables. They are the same ones that the varsity team uses, but we are under the impression that they don't really change the settings often if at all...

    Gymnasts Xcel platinum vault

    What vaults are available for xcel platinum? Some girls can technically flip tsuks and possibly yurchenkos but that’s apparently not aloud right? We are working on front handspring and full twist.

    Women Vaults getting worse?

    So I've always been a good vaulter apparently and I've been doing half-on-fulls and tsuks into the pit but recently I've been lacking for some reason. I used to be able to reach far on the table and have a fast heel drive but it's getting slower and my hands are at the front of the table. My...

    Parents Short vault runway?

    My DD is currently training for level 5/6. We went to an open gym out of state while visiting family, and she mentioned how she liked having more space to run before vaulting. She goes to a small gym and the vault runway is definitely on the shorter side compared to other gyms. Does anyone...
